His humanity and is divinity. Jesus is same God with the father.

What is the meaning of 'the father is distinct from the son'?

TheBillyonaire:
The Universe as well as the entities in it.

What exactly is the resources/energy that we must not resist?

TheBillyonaire:
Evil ,manifests as resistance/lag to flow of resources/energy, so its best to flow with it. Moving in contra direction results in feeling of suffering.

All Religious people must suffer, it is not a curse, it is expected from a people who see lag and resistance as suffering of participating in inventing systems that leads to evolution of consciousnesses.

So there is a degree of ignorance where ever there is suffering.

What is the source of the the resources/energy? What exactly is the resources/energy?

Suffering and Evil also affects your God too. Do not blame him, he is also a victim

Ok.....where does suffering and evil originate from?

In position, the father is called "The God" in Greek it is translated as theon.
That is why in John 1vv1, John said in the beginning was logos, the logos was with theon (The God) and the logos was theos (God).

But, however, The father, Son and Holy Spirit are one God, meaning the have one divine essence or being.
What this mean is that whatsoever, the father can do, the Son and the Holy Spirit can also do.
The father is omniscience, omnipresent and omnipotent, he is untreated and eternal, infinite in wisdom, perfect, and on and on. So also the Son is and also the Holy ghost, because they are one God but, when it comes to their operations they function differently but complimentary and there exist a unique relationship between the " The God" the "the word of God" this relationship is a father- Son relationship hence, the word is the Son of God.

If the Son is equal to the father in qualities, why is he called a 'son'? How can an immortal and eternal God become a creation and die? Does that mean that the Father can die also?

In the Trinity, the father, Son and Holy Spirit do not have same office or position.

The Father has the office or position as the authority of God. Hence he is called God or " The God" he ordains all things, the father ordains the Son to be the saviour,ruler and judge of all things, The father presdestinates sons to come into fellowship with him.

"The word" reveals God, creates hence called the word of God all of the fathers plans, will and decisions can only be fulfilled by the office of the Son. For example it was the father's will for all things to be created but it could only be fulfilled through the Son, it was the father's plan and will for us to be saved but it can only be fulfilled through and in Christ hence Jesus is the only way to be saved.

The Holy Spirit is the power of God he acts base on the authority and will of the father and Son hence he is called the Spirit of the Father or the Spirit of the Son sometimes the Spirit of christ.

The unique offices of the Trinity was stated by Paul in ephesians.

Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

1 Corinthians 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)

8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Paul is describing the offices of The father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The father is called called the One God
Jesus the Son is called the One Lord
The the Holy ghost as the one Spirit.


So when Jesus was called the father the only true God he was alluding to the father's position as God but however there are other entities who are being paraded or are parading themselves as God, for example Satan is called the God of this world because he is usurping the position or office of the father but he is not God but mere creature.

Since we know the name of the son to be Jesus, What is the name of the father and holy spirit?

Steep:
Jesus has two natures both natures are united as one ( hypostatic union) but however The father is a distinct person from Jesus.

What are the two nature's of Jesus? If Jesus is distinct from the Father, How come they are equals?

WritingDavid1:
Jesus is God… However we always need to understand that in scripture Jesus speaks as both God and as man (owing to the fact that he has two natures) That is why speaking as God, the same Jesus said “to have seen me is to have seen the father” “I and the father are one”

So how can Jesus who is an immortal and eternal God that is equal to the father, become a creation and die?
How come he is referred to as 'God the son's instead of God the father?

4Toluilori:
After David was settled in his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, "Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent."
Nathan replied to David, "Whatever you have in mind, do it, for God is with you."
But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:
"Go and tell my servant David, 'This is what the LORD says . . . ' "
"I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel. I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name like all the names of the greatest men on earth. And I will provide a place for my people Israel . . . Wicked people will not oppress them anymore… I will also subdue all your enemies. " 'I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you: When your days are over and you go to be with your ancestors, I will raise up your own offspring to succeed you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. . . I will never take away my love from him, as I took it away from your predecessor. . . .' " I Chronicles 17: 1-13

God is not a "Taker"; God is a "Giver." Whatever we give to God, He will give it back to us "a good measure, pressed down shaken together and running over (Luke 6:38). When we give faithfully to him in our tithes and offerings, He promises to open the windows of Heaven upon our lives and pour out so much blessing that we won't even have room to contain it (Malachi 3:10). Try it, it works because God is not a man that He should lie. If God were to lie for a moment, He would cease to be God; because He would have no basis of righteousness.

There is something very extraordinary about giving generously to God. I am perfectly aware that the subject of giving has been blatantly abused by some pastors who have taken undue advantage of God's children, even to the point of fleecing God's children and making merchandise of them. But this does not negate the evidence of Scripture that God looks down with great favor on generous givers. In fact, Scripture makes it clear that when we give generously to God, He will give generously back to us because God loves generous givers.

Generous giving comes out of a grateful heart and that is what touches the heart of God. David recognized that God had been extremely gracious to him. God had elevated him from an unnoticed shepherd to the position of a king. He was now living in a palace built of cedar. Out of gratitude, he felt the need to build a house for the ark of God which was being housed in a tent at the time. This decision was born out of pure gratitude to God. God was deeply touched.

So what came out of this generous desire? Several blessings:
First: God promised to make David like the names of the greatest men on all the earth. The fulfillment is borne out by the fact that thousands of years after the death of David, people are still being named after him! We constantly talk about how David defeated Goliath.

Second: God promised to subdue all his enemies before him. What a blessing!

Third: The LORD promised to build the house of David. This was more than a physical dwelling place. This referred to the legacy and posterity of David! The truth is, "except the LORD builds a house, the laborers will be building in vain." (Psalm 127:1) Do you want God to build your house? Then build His house first. Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and He will add all other things to you. (Matthew 6:33) He will build not just your physical home but your relationships, marriage, career, business and even your reputation long after you are gone from the earth.

Fourth: God promised that His love will never depart from David's house. Do you want a generational blessing of God's love to follow your children? Then invest in building the house of God. Does this peak your interest and get your attention? Well, try it. Build God's house and God will surprise you with incredible favor. God will watch over His word to perform it in your life. Amen.

Why does God allow evil and suffering to exist?

Experience, feeling, observation and independent confirmation from other people.

Lol.....please who are these people getting confirmation from other people? Can we know them? And who are these people that have the confirmation?
And what observations did they carry out? Can we also experiment those observations?
